Clearly cool undertone, ashy hair, clear eyes: Cool Summer is recognized by its muted coolness.
Cool Summer is defined by natural freshness, controlled softness and a harmony dominated by cool, refined and slightly muted tones.
Cool Summer is a profile dominated by freshness. The face often looks more harmonious with cool, delicate and slightly softened colors. Unlike Cool Winter, Cool Summer handles very strong contrasts and ultra saturated colors less easily. Tones that are too warm, orange-based or too dark can make the complexion look tired.
